• Rama Nama debe provenir del corazón. En ese caso, Rama Nama podría convertirse en un remedio eficaz contra todas las dolencias. Un hombre que cree en Rama Nama no haría un fetiche del cuerpo, sino que lo consideraría como un medio para servir a Dios. Y para convertirlo en un instrumento apto para ese propósito, Rama Nama es el medio soberano. Instalar Rama Nama en el corazón requiere una paciencia infinita. Incluso puede llevar años. Pero el esfuerzo merece la pena. Rama Nama no puede salir del corazón a menos que uno haya cultivado las virtudes de la verdad, la honestidad y la pureza por dentro y por fuera.

  Mahatma Gandhi

• Si queremos encontrar a Dios en medio de todas las exterioridades religiosas, debemos primero determinar encontrarlo, y luego proceder por el camino de la sencillez. Ahora, como siempre, Dios se descubre a los "niños" y se oculta en densas tinieblas a los sabios y prudentes. Debemos simplificar nuestro acercamiento a Él. Debemos despojarnos de lo esencial (y se encontrará que son benditamente pocos). Debemos dejar de lado todo esfuerzo por impresionar, y acercarnos con la candidez inocente de la niñez. Si hacemos esto, sin duda Dios responderá rápidamente.

• The Los Angeles Air Pollution Control Board is established in 1946 in an effort to discover the cause of the brown cloud hanging over the city and decide how to combat and disperse it. In 1949, after intense lobbying from both the automobile and oil industries, and against the recommendations and position of the Los Angeles Air Pollution Control Board, the public rail system, which at one time was the largest in the world, and still serves a majority of the city's population, is decommissioned and torn out. It is replaced by a small fleet of buses.

• Remember, most of the things you think you need are ego trips designed to bolster your image and your perception of security.... You'll waste a lot of energy satisfying your ego only to find that, as soon as it's got what it wants, it ignores all your efforts and promptly nails another list of demands to your forehead. The ego will always try to force you to slave for its vision. I wouldn't stand for that BS if I were you.

• A good author, and one who writes carefully, often discovers that the expression of which he has been in search without being able to discover it, and which he has at last found, is that which was the most simple, the most natural, and which seems as if it ought to have presented itself at once, without effort, to the mind.
